FAREWELL
Bernalillo, NM, January 18, 1984
It seemed we were saying farewell not just to friends and acquaintances, but to all things. It also seemed I was prophesying of a parting in the future but which we would subsequently never have to suffer again.
VERSE 1
Goodbye, my friends, it’s time to go;
It’s been so good to share with you.
We’ve shared our joys; we’ve shared our sorrows;
Praise be to God, we have tomorrows.
CHORUS
There’ll come a day when there’s no parting;
We’ll be together and with the Lord…
VERSE 2
We must go on to higher places,
To better things, to wider spaces.
We mustn’t stop and turn around
For our reward to come is bound.
CHORUS
There’ll come a day when there’s no parting;
We’ll be together and with the Lord…
BRIEF BRIDGE INSTRUMENTAL
Goodbye my friends, it’s time to go.
It’s been so good to share with you.
Goodbye, my friends, it’s time to go.
It’s been so good to share with you.
